Last year, I attended Navami pooja alongside a devotional multitude,
Thousands chanting Durga’s name with the highest certitude,
Every face seemed beaming with pious gratitude,
I savoured the moment, life was a song,
What could possibly go wrong??????
Crowds swarming in to touch the idol’s feet,
Songs of pious devotion playing on repeat,
I wondered how could someone accuse this world of woman discrimination and unsafety!!!!
The elegance of the goddess draped in red,
